
Estimation programs for "Asymmetric Learning in Repeated Contracting: An Empirical Study" by Alma Cohen
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a readme file that explains what files are included in the "estimation programs" directory.

A researcher seeking the data will need to sign an agreement with Alma Cohen committing the researcher 
to use the data solely for the purpose of performing replication and robustness tests of the tables in the 
above paper, not to use the data in any other way, and not to transfer the data to any other party. 
A researcher seeking to enter re such an agreement, and get the data for the exclusive purpose of performing 
replications and robustensss tests, should contact Alma Cohen at alcohen@post.harvard.edu or almac@post.tau.ac.il. 


- RESTAT_DATA.dta - is the full data set, in StataMP 11 format (to be requested separately).
- RESTAT_DO_FILE.do - is a stata do file that generates the Tables

The definitions of most variables should be self explanatory from their names. Full variable definitions are available in the paper as well as in the stata do file. 

If there are any problems or questions, please email alcohen@post.harvard.edu.

Thanks for your interest.

Best,
Alma Cohen
